A former smuggler from New Orleans faces ruthless drug lords, vicious criminals, corrupt officials, and trigger-happy hit men after getting back into the business to help his brother-in-law settle a deadly debt. When it came to transporting illicit goods under treacherous circumstances, Chris Farraday (Mark Wahlberg) used to be the best in the business. But all of that changed when he chose to give up his life of crime to start a family with Kate (Kate Beckinsale). Chris learns that leaving his past behind is easier said than done, however, after Kate's brother Andy (Caleb Landry Jones) goes to work for ferocious drug lord Tim Briggs (Giovanni Ribisi), and drops the ball on a major deal. Now, in order to set things right, Chris must smuggle millions of dollars in counterfeit bills from Panama into the United States. And if anything goes wrong, Tim will target his entire family for death. With his best friend Sebastian (Ben Foster) by his side and a crackerjack crew along for the ride, Chris heads to Panama for one last job. Later, with time running out and a treacherous maze of desperate criminals to navigate, the job gets complicated, and Chris must race to reach his family before Tim gets to them first. Lukas Haas, Diego Luna, and J.K. Simmons co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronFamed architects Herzog & de Meuron just broke ground on a new natural swimming pool for residents of Riehen, Switzerland. The Swiss firm originally designed a pool for the town back in 1979, and now they will see a revamped design come to fruition. Naturbad Riehen will be cleaned without chlorine or other chemicals - instead it will utilize surrounding landscaping and aquatic systems to process and treat the water.1
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronConstruction on Naturbad Riehen just began, and the project is set to be completed sometime in early 2014 in time for the summer season.2
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronHerzog & de Meuron originally designed a pool for the town in 1979, but the idea was shelved in 1982 - it wasn't until 2007 that the town decided to revisit the concept.3
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronThis time around they wanted something natural and sustainable that wouldn't rely on chemicals like chlorine. New technologies and understanding of natural water filtration methods allowed the design team to create a better version of the swimming pool.4
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronNaturbad Riehen will include a lap pool, a diving area, a recreational swimming area, and a kids' pool. The surrounding park-like area will provide places for families to play and have picnics. A bathroom and changing facilities are also located on site.5
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronThe pool utilizes a series of filters to process and clean the water. First, particles, grease and hair are strained out. Then the water goes across the street to the regeneration area, where plants like water lilies and irises work with aquatic sediment to filter and absorb bacteria and other compounds.6
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronConstruction of the swimming pool has begun.7
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronThese construction images show a serene surrounding landscape, woods and farmland, which will only be enhanced with a natural swimming pool.8
- Naturbad Riehen-Herzog de MeuronThe system produces clean water that is pumped back into the pools. The pool and its regeneration system will allow for 2,000 people to enjoy the natural swimming pool on any given day.9

A site of an old winery has been transformed into a major cultural destination of the southern Spanish region of Huelva thanks to the Seville-based Donaire Arquitectos and their recently-finalised Theatro Municipal. Located in Almonte, the imposing, geometrical structure towers above its low-rise surroundings while the structure's plain, unornamented façade allows the theatre to blend harmoniously with its environment. The 3,265-square-meters theatre has been completed in spring this year at a total cost of over €4 million.
From Donaire Arquitectos:
'The building is located on the site of an old winery. It has the challenge of integrate the existing old buildings, declared as cultural interest, and being part of a cultural complex of a total of three buildings and a common space. This space turns into the main place of the town and an important meeting area.
'An opportunity to work on light, material and space. The path chosen to work on these concepts, is the contrast. Contrast between outside and inside, between old and new, including a monumental scale and human scale. And the journey as the thread that sews and explains the intervention. A large area covered with large proportions and controlled height works as a high threshold. A monumental scale lobby welcomes the visitor showing the scale of a public building.'

Roundabouts, rotaries, or traffic circles, are unique segments of roadway in the Waze router. When a driver approaches a roundabout, a specific icon is displayed in the turn direction area of the display with a number corresponding to the exit count from the driver's entry into the roundabout. Manually creating a circular road will not tell Waze to navigate the area as a roundabout.

What is a roundabout and what is not
Most parts of Europe use roundabouts regularly in intersections, while in the United States it is generally less common. In general when there is a clear roundabout on the visual map, it is best to have it mapped as a roundabout in the road layer. There are a few cases that should not be mapped as roundabouts.
|Streets intersect, but there is no center island preventing cross-traffic turns (left-hand in the US and right-hand in the UK). There are no signs indicating a roundabout approaching the intersection or painted on the ground.
|A single road segment leading to a cul-de-sac should be drawn as a dead end. With very large roads it might be advisable to create a loop, but not a roundabout.
Creating a roundabout from an intersection
Often times, when streets become more congested, planners will install a traffic circle, or roundabout, to get traffic to flow more freely. This section shows you the steps to get from an existing intersection to a new roundabout.
The situation starts out like this, where the roads are no longer aligned with the new plan, and now there is a roundabout which we need to get created in Waze:
This situation is fairly simple because all the segments are connected together already.
If you look closely, you will see this roundabout actually does have four entrance/exits, so let's also draw in the western road as just a small stub, for future use. This will also cause the roundabout to give the driver better instructions in terms of which exit to take, as a driver will see the stub exit in real life, and so will count that as an exit.
Once those are all created, go ahead and save the work.
WARNING: Any segments completely within the roundabout area WILL BE DELETED.Updating details to confirm the road section for details on this process. In Waze, we do NOT name roundabout segments. These segments remain unnamed using the "No Name" checkbox for street name. If the roundabout is a named circle, then a landmark filling the center area may be added to show the name.
When the process is complete and the Save button has been clicked on one last time, this is how the new roundabout looks:
For further reference, please watch this video on roundabout creation.
Oval and very large shapes
If an oval or elliptical roundabout is required, hold down the Shift key. At this time only oval roundabouts along the North/South or East/West axis can be created. If an alternate shape or axis is desired, create a circular roundabout that is close to the correct shape and adjust the geometry nodes manually.
Note that roundabouts above about 100m diameter cannot be created because of the danger of erasing all roads in the center could accidentally wipe out an entire city of roads. If a larger diameter is required, use the same steps described above to alter the shape by adjusting the nodes as required.
Improving manually drawn roundabouts
A proper roundabout will tell you to "enter the roundabout and take the first exit" when going straight through, so we need to fix this "fake" roundabout.See Below. (It is better to use single two-way roads when connecting to the roundabout.) Press Save to ensure there are no errors before going to the next step.
If the visual map layer does not show a new roundabout that exists today, use the GPS tracking layer to estimate where the center of the roundabout is located.
After confirming the individual roundabout road segments, there is now a properly-formed roundabout which will give the correct routing instructions:
Note that you should not create a roundabout with only one segment. Roundabouts should be intersected by two or more road segments. Reviewing the Junction Style Guide for information on creating a loop or just dead-end.
If when creating your roundabout you do not cross any road segments, the roundabout cannot be created. There must be at least one road segment crossing the roundabout when you release the mouse button to create it.
Creating a roundabout from nothing
Draw all of the road segments that will lead to the roundabout and ensure they extend into the center of the roundabout area. Use the visual map to align the roads. From there, create the roundabout just as is described in the two sections above.
Note that there must be at least one road leading inside the area of the roundabout being created, otherwise no roundabout will be created when you use that option.
Adjusting geometry
When a segment of a roundabout is selected, the geometry nodes (blue squares) will appear. Each of these squares can be moved by dragging them with the mouse to align better with the visual map or the GPS traces.
When initially creating a roundabout, it is possible to create an oval or elliptical shape by holding the Shift key when stretching the diameter before it is created. At this time only oval roundabouts along the North/South or East/West axis can be created. If an alternate shape is desired, adjust the geometry nodes as described above.
Road type
It is possible to have multiple types of roads (Streets, Primary Streets, Minor Highway, etc.) meeting at a roundabout.
To minimize inefficient routing, we need to be careful with what type we assign to the Roundabout itself. We want to minimize any penalty going from connected roads, but we also do not want to make the Roundabout too "attractive" where we encourage routing through it when unnecessary.
The road types we are interested in are, in order from highest to lowest, Freeway, Major Highway, Minor Highway, Primary Street, Street, Parking Lot Road, Private Road. Since a Roundabout is not a Limited Access Interchange, two Freeways should never meet at a roundabout; however, it is conceivable that a Freeway might begin or end at one.
To determine what road type to use for the Roundabout:
- Identify the two connected segments with the HIGHEST type:
- If a particular road goes through a roundabout, count the road as two separate segments, one on each side of the roundabout.
- If a road on one side of the roundabout is split into two one-way road segments, count the pair of one-way segments as a single segment.
- The two connected segments with the highest type may have the same type or different types.
- If a ramp connects to the Roundabout, use the road type to which that ramp connects.
- Select the roundabout and set the road type as follows.
- If the two highest-type segments have the same type, use that type.
- If the two highest-type segments have different types, use the LOWER type of those two segments.
Entrance and exit road segments
The road segments leading into and out of a roundabout are generally drawn as simple two-way roads connected perpendicular (90 degrees) to the roundabout circle itself. This makes it easier on the user to visualize the map into reality by not having the incoming lanes appear separately on the map and only see the exits. The client app will tell the driver to take the second exit, so this way the driver can see on the map how far away that is in the roundabout from where they are now.
In some cases the incoming and exit road segments may be so far away from each other that it would be better to have them split into two separate one-way segments.
This section will answer 2 main questions:
- What is a normal vs. a non-normal roundabout?
- When will I get a 'turn right' / 'continue straight' instruction vs. a 'take the X exit' instruction?
A non-normal roundabout:
- Will give you a 'take the X exit' (with arrows around it) instruction.
- Has 5 or more nodes (Ex. Each segment of a split road connects at its own node.)
- Has irregularly placed nodes (this will be covered in the examples.)
A normal roundabout:
- Will give you a 'turn right', 'turn left' or 'continue straight' instruction.
- Has up to 4 nodes, and a central node.
- All nodes are aligned within "normal" range of the entry point.
A roundabout can be both normal and non-normal at the same time depending on your entrance node.
Some examples will help explain:
- For the sake of simplicity, let's look at a roundabout with three exits.
- The angle of the segment approaching the node does not matter, it can be similar to any of the segments below, or anywhere in between.
- Each time you approach a roundabout from one of the three nodes, an imaginary X-Y axis is drawn: (1) with the origin at the central node and (2) aligned to the entrance node.
- Coming from node #1, this is how we see the roundabout:
- Both exits 2 and 3 are within the normal range (90°±15° & 180°±15°).
- Both exits will get an instruction to 'turn right' or 'continue straight'.
- Coming from node #3, this is how we see the roundabout:
- Both exits 1 and 2 are not within the 'normal' range – both will get a 'take the X exit'.
- Note: even if one of these exits was within normal range, the roundabout itself will be 'non-normal' and all exits will get the 'take the X exit' prompt. The entire roundabout must be normal.

Old Apache Trail
To the east of the Phoenix megalopolis runs the Old Apache Trail, which starts out harmlessly enough as Highway 87.
As you wind your way through ravines and red cliffs, the road gets narrower a until a sign announces: pavement ends, gravel next 22 miles.
The onset of gravel gets rid of the weekend motorcyclists, which swarm around legitimate vehicles like horseflies on the smooth Arizona mountain highways.
The Apache Trail forms an innocent little squiggle on the map. It is marked as "scenic."
It should be marked "potentially deadly."
I was driving my Ford Taurus. It turned over to 100,000 miles last week, but it has yet to earn the affection I heaped on my Ford Ranger.
I should have rented a mule.
The Taurus has three separate annoying rattles in its front suspension which I should get fixed but always forget about on the smooth roads which pass near dealerships.
On the washboards of the Old Apache Trail, the car sounded like it was dragging a string of coffee cans.
From nice highway to wide gravel road down to a one-lane gravel road in less than a mile. Things were going in the wrong direction.
Then it got worse. The gravel road started down the side of a canyon. Hairpin curves. A drop of 900 feet in one mile for a 17% grade. On washboard.
Get rolling downhill on washboard gravel and you can lose control as surely as if you are on ice.
At least on ice in the Midwest you can slide gently in the ditch, cushioned by snow. On the Old Apache Trail, too much momentum means a tumble down an 800-foot cliff, a Hollywood stunt for which I wouldn't get paid.
I pulled over at the first turn-out to catch my breath. To calm my nerves, I set the satellite radio to the Zen station, which plays hypnotic music meant for hippies in a dimly lit room burning scented candles.
When driving in a tense situation, I forget to breathe. The woman on the Zen station comes on every few minutes to tell you to "breathe....just breathe..."
A needed reminder.
Around the cliffs I crept, not knowing what was fifteen feet ahead. If I met another vehicle, one of us would have to back down.
At this rate, the 22 miles of gravel would take eight hours.
Finally, the bottom, an old bridge called the Fish Creek Crossing.
I found a perch for the Taurus fifteen feet above the bridge, grabbed my camera and got out.
There are times when you just know you have found one of the most beautiful places on earth.
When I looked up to the great rose window at Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, I knew.
When I saw the Southern Alps of New Zealand rise 12,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean, I knew.
When I looked over the rim of the Grand Canyon, I knew.
When I walked into Fenway Park in Boston, I knew.
And as I looked around at the orange canyon walls which towered above me at Fish Creek Crossing, I knew.
It was mid-day. Not the best for photography. The hot mid-day sun washes out the colors and irons out the deep shadows which make the early morning and late evening so dramatic in the wilds of Arizona.
But in the depths of a narrow canyon, the sun bounces from thousand-foot wall to thousand foot wall, bathing the whole massive natural cathedral in indirect orange light.
No stained-glass windows needed.
At the bottom of the canyon, the cottonwood's leaves glowed gold in the cool shade.
A single shaft of sunlight hit a distant ledge and lit up a massive saguaro cactus 200 feet up the canyon wall.
I took pictures, but so what. Nothing does such a scene justice. It is best to just soak it in.
I soaked in as much as I could before hitting the road. Up, up and up the mule trail twisted with only a six inch windrow of clay between my rattling Taurus and the abyss.
The gravel finally ended at the majestic Roosevelt Dam, constructed of massive blocks of rock beginning in 1904. When completed in 1911, it was the largest dam in the world.
As the road climbed from the canyon bottom up and over the level of water behind the dam, the Roosevelt Dam Bridge, which is ranked as one of the top ten suspension bridges in the country, burst into full panoramic view.
Five hours after we left, my Taurus rattled back into its suburban garage, having undergone the toughest 100-mile test of its existence.
But what a spectacular Sunday drive!

HOUSTON – Cruise operators, like airline pilots, may be relying too heavily on electronics to navigate massive ships, losing the knowledge and ability needed to operate a vessel in the case of a power failure, an expert sea pilot told a federal agency on Wednesday.
Capt. Jorge Viso with the Tampa Bay Pilots testified before the National Transportation Safety Board on the second day of a two-day hearing the agency is holding after several high-profile cruise mishaps, including last year's fire aboard the Carnival Triumph that left thousands of passengers stranded for days in squalid conditions aboard a powerless ship adrift in the Gulf of Mexico.
In 2010, a fire also knocked out power to the Carnival Splendor in the Pacific Ocean, also stranding passengers at sea until the vessel could be towed to port. In 2012, the Costa Concordia ship capsized off Italy, killing 32 people.
Cruise ship captains are handling high-tech vessels with state-of-the-art navigations systems, Viso said, but added that he fears they are not as adept at manually handling the massive ships as they become over-dependent on fancy electronics.
"We have noticed a trend for too much reliance on electronic navigation," said Viso, who as a pilot assists large cruise ships get to port in Florida.
"If there is an instrument failure, a control failure or presentation failure there are distinct disadvantages to those not familiar with the handling of a vessel," Viso added, comparing it to a similar phenomenon gaining attention in the airline industry. "There is a definite trend toward driving the ship electronically, and while some may argue that this is the future, we are not there today."
Officials with the federal agency questioned the captain and other cruise operators, executives, training experts and officials about whether the industry was able to keep up with safety needs as ships get larger and hold more passengers.
Budd Darr, senior vice-president for technical and regulatory affairs at Cruise Lines International Association, told the panel the size of the largest cruise ships had likely stabilized for now.
But "the average size will increase as we are not constrained by the Panama Canal anymore," Darr said, referring to the expected opening next year of an expansion of that key crossing point.
Viso cautioned, though, that while the ships are continuously growing, port infrastructure is not always keeping up.
Industry officials outlined robust training guidelines, often involving in-depth simulations that take into account situations from how quickly or slowly a passenger might walk to how narrow a corridor might be. The training tends to go well beyond current regulations in an industry that is subject to little enforcement.
Still, Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the NTSB, questioned whether the industry is really safe enough, especially considering how many passengers can now fit aboard a cruise ship. In the more than 100 years since the Titanic accident, the cruise industry, aided by international agreements, has operated at a higher standard, she said.
"But as we have said about other industries, the lack of a major accident is not an indication of a safe operation," Hersman said.
"A key question as we go forward is with today's ships carrying many times the passenger and crew of the Titanic, should we ever face a tragedy the size and scope of the Titanic or larger we will be prepared? Are we prepared to conduct a massive search and recovery effort? Are we willing to have a truly independent and transparent investigation?" she asked.
West Virginia Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a Democrat, also questioned the industry's long-term commitment to safety, noting that at hearings he's held as chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, he has heard worrying testimony about conditions aboard the vessels.
"Witnesses and experts have highlighted unsafe travelling conditions, major deficiencies in fire detection systems and evacuation procedures, a lack of crew training, miscommunications about what actions should be taken to address safety issues, and the inability of the ship to take care of and efficiently evacuate passengers," Rockefeller said in a statement submitted to the NTSB.
"In response, the cruise lines have provided testimony on a number of safety changes. However, cruise lines have a disappointing history of taking discrete safety steps only after a terrible incident and bad press reports, and they have yet to demonstrate commitment to fostering a long-term, industry-wide safety culture," he added.

Last season's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" centered on a "Seinfeld" reunion, offering some of the funniest episodes in the decade-plus history of Larry David's comedy of bad manners.
But this season, which ends Sunday, can lay a strong claim to being the closest "Curb" has come to recapturing the "Seinfeld" spirit.
Much of that claim rests, of course, in setting half the shows in New York, the ancestral home of "Seinfeld," the classic angst-fueled sitcom David co-created. David also enlisted some former "Seinfeld" writers for this go-around, leading to episodes that familiarly wrap in not-so-neat packages built on unlikely coincidences that make New York seem like a small town (even if the season's best installment – the Palestinian chicken imbroglio – took place in Los Angeles).
But the most striking – and perhaps most Seinfeldian – aspect of the season is that in Manhattan, Larry David comes away looking almost normal. He's been outscored on the neurotic scale this season by cab-stealing "upstreamers," a name-dropping shrink and a hot-headed, profanity-spewing softball team sponsor who thinks he's George Steinbrenner (a role David performed, back to the camera, on "Seinfeld").
In this New York role reversal, David has played a part more akin to the sane-by-comparison Jerry Seinfeld than to his self-destructive TV stand-in George Costanza. Not, as it turns out, that there's anything wrong with that.
Truth be told, we were a little worried before the beginning of this eighth season that the return to his hometown (explained away as Larry wanting to avoid participating in an LA charity event) and the large lineup of celebrity guests were signs of David running out of ideas. But despite the lack of a strong story arc, and a couple misfires (a takeoff on "The Fugitive" fell flat, and an encounter with a Girl Scout during an awkward moment turned creepy), David has given us much to laugh about in recent weeks.
The guest stars certainly helped: Ricky Gervais, in full faux-pompous mode, parried mightily in the duel of the two masters of uncomfortable comedy. Rosie O'Donnell hilariously outperformed Larry as a romantic and softball rival. Red Sox World Series goat Bill Buckner got to redeem himself in best baseball comedy cameo since, well, "Seinfeld," and the epic Keith Hernandez two-part episode nearly 20 years ago.
Sunday's finale promises a clash with Michael J. Fox, a battle Larry can only lose. But overall, he's produced another winning season for HBO, leaving us wanting more of another show about nothing. And, as he might say, that's pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Since 1990, City Farmer and the City of Vancouver have held worm composting workshops for City of Vancouver residents who live in apartments. For $25 participants get a worm bin, 500 worms (1 lb), Mary Appelhof's book "Worms Eat My Garbage", a trowel, bedding and a one-hour class. Now that's a deal!
Worm Castings are true BLACK GOLD to your garden soil, and high quality store-bought castings are just about as expensive! For good reasons. Worm castings are literally living! Worm castings host ten to twenty times as much microbial activity than plain soil! They cause seeds to germinate more quickly, seedlings to grow faster, leaves grow bigger, more flowers, fruits and vegetables are produced. Castings contain 5 times the available nitrogen, 7 times the available potash and 1 1/2 times more calcium than that found in 12″ of topsoil. These nutrients are also water-soluble and immediately available to the plant. Most potting soils have a nutrient life for 2 to 5 days, where worm castings will last up to 6 times as long.
Vermicompost suppresses several diseases on cucumbers, radishes, strawberries, grapes, tomatoes and peppers, according to research from Ohio State extension entomologist Clive Edwards. It also significantly reduced parasitic nematodes, aphids, mealy bugs and mites. These effects are greatest when a smaller amount of vermicompost is used—just 10-40% of the total volume of the plant growth medium is all that is needed, 25% is ideal!
The right kind of worms are RED WRIGGLERS, Eisenia foetida! They forage on debris at the surface. They are smaller than earthworms that live IN the earth. Fishermen use them for bait. Ask your fellow gardeners to give you a handful to get started, go to the bait shack, ask at the farmers market, or support your local organic worm dealer! The little guys live 1 to 2 years. My clew (colony) has been going strong for 15 years now.
Worms are easy to raise or you can use a complex system. You can start them anytime, indoors or out depending on temps. Here in SoCal Santa Barbara mine live outside all year in full sun, brief freezes. They are more active when they are warmer. Soy inked newspaper is often used for bedding to start a clew. Worms are 90% water, so keep the bedding moist. My worms get all the moisture they need from the juicy kitchen bits I feed them and I cover them with their black plastic blankie inside the container to keep them moist! If your bin is stinky, you may be overfeeding or watering too much. Maybe increase the size of the air openings or put your bin where there is more circulation, or out of the shade into a sunny area.
Though you can start your worms anytime, two good times to start them are January and July. January will give you a well established clew and supply of castings for spring plantings starting in SoCal March. July gives a good supply for September, October fall plantings.
Housing! This bin is great for at home gardeners or children's school projects! The worms are safe from predators, access is easy, any liquid, leachate, worm tea, drains into the lid below. I use a longer bin about the same height.
Since Red Wigglers, Eisenia Foetida, are surface foragers, these worms need width, not depth. Mine live in a low 4′ by 2′ opaque dark grey storage container. I put holes in the bottom to allow the leachate to drain out and from time to time I move the bin to another location to enrich the soil there, each area getting some of that good stuff! I put holes about 6 to 8″ apart along the sides near the top. The wormies get air flow and on hot days hot air vents out. Inside the container I cover them with a large heavy mil black plastic bag to keep it moist and dark for them. They feed all the way to the top because they feel safe in the dark where no birds can see them!
I do have a shaped-to-the-base piece of 1/4″ hardware cloth, a wire mesh, around the bottom of my box to prevent predator pests like mice or rats from gnawing into the holes in the bottom of the box. Worms are gourmet for them! Sprinkle cinnamon about if you have ants.
How to Start! Select your container or system.
- If you choose a container, get one made of opaque material, a dark color if it is available. Worms like dark, just like under the leaves, in the topsoil, in nature. Make 1/4″ or less diameter holes in the bottom and near the top of the sides or as needed. If you put holes in the container lid, rainwater will go in, perhaps flooding your worms. A hot stove flame heated very large screwdriver blade is quick and perfect for making holes in plastic containers. Push the screwdriver in and twist. If your container will be indoors, you will need a tray underneath to collect drippings.
- Put in 4 to 6″ of moist shredded soy ink newspaper bedding, no bleached office papers. Soak the paper overnight, then wring it out so it is moist like a wrung out sponge, fluff it up. Add some leaves if you have them, and what kitchen trim you might have been saving. If the kitchen stuff is a little funky that's best because your worms feed on bacteria!
- Add your worms!
- Feed your worms slowly at first. As your worms multiply, give them more chow. Bury or keep your food scraps in a covered container to keep fruit flies away until you give them to your worms.
- Your worms want dark and moist. Cover them inside their container with cardboard or another material so they will feed to the top. If it is light, they think the birds will get them and they stay away from the top! I tuck them in with a large black plastic garbage bag to keep them moist. If they get TOO moist, take the internal cover off/move it to one side, add shredded paper and don't moisten the paper.
- Mist the paper in as needed to keep it from drying out.
They like decomposing kitchen waste…
YES! Things cut into smaller pieces decompose faster. We just had a rainy winter, moist conditions day after day. In this case I didn't cut the pieces up so decomposition would be slower and I fed them less. In this colder weather they slowed down and the added kitchen stuff started to rot rather than be eaten. I removed a few forksful and put them in the ground to reduce the moisture and restore balance. Since it was 'muddy,' I included what worms were in it. They are now off on new adventures in a different kingdom! The soil there will be extra rich!
My worms do love avo shells and nest in them. Crushed egg shells keep the pH neutral – you don't need very many. Go wild with potato and carrot peelings, carrot tops, funky lettuce, squash, and, a favorite, melon rinds for dessert. The pulp from fruit/veg drinks. Fridge clean outs are perfect for your worms! If you have doubt about an item, don't. Moderation is a good word.
NO to harder or tougher items that take a long time. No grape stems, corn cobs, avocado, cherry or mango pits. Avoid harmful spicy, salty, acidic citrus, sulfuric onion. Dairy makes the bin smell, oils and meats are too tough – bring predators if your worms are outdoors. Cooked rice, bread, pastas and pizzas bring mice to outdoor worm bins. No junk food. Coffee filters, grounds in moderation, lightly ripped teabags are good – the nylon kind don't decompose. But not too many of those teabags/coffee grounds because they are acidic, and veggies like things a tad alkaline.
Rather than laying new food on top of the worms, I use a pitchfork or potato fork, small tines, little damage to worms, to gently lift my worms from one side of the bin to the other. I lay in half their new food, then move some of the worms back, mix them with the new food, then covering the new mix with the rest of the worms. Then I do the other half. The new food will decompose faster when mixed in and covered.
You can easily see when they have run out of food. Feed them sooner than that, or they might be hungry a few days, even die. They eat the bacteria on what you give them. They can't eat raw food until it decomposes a bit, so feeding them sooner is crucial. If you find yourself wondering about how they are doing, check them ASAP!
Once your bin is started, there is absolutely no reason to continue to feed them newspaper or cardboard. The quality of what you feed your worms is the health of your worms and the quality of your castings. Real nutrients – kitchen scraps, plant trimmings – like the organic wastes of nature, give you excellent castings in return. Worms will eat non nutritious cardboard and lots of other things, but why? Better to recycle that in other ways.
If you are an indoor gardener, keep your clew small. If you are an outdoor gardener, you may be hard pressed to produce enough castings! Hit up your friends that juice and make smoothies for a steady supply of high quality fresh organic veg and fruit trims and bits. I have dedicated recycle friends who bring plastic bags and wide mouth containers of veggie trim. They tie bags loosely so it's easy for me to open and feed to the kids. I, in turn, share veggies when I have extra, sometimes planting a little more, or one of their favorites for them.
Harvest the bumpy like little castings – they look like fluffy coffee grounds. You've seen them, often after a rain…earthworms push them up in little piles. I use an old coffee container with a handle. Take the 'blanket' off your worms. Give them about 5 minutes to dive out of the light. Gather the castings at the top. Wait a few more minutes for them to dive again, then gather some more. Only the castings are taken; the worms are the workers!
Oh, are you spooked because worms are 'slimy?' They aren't really, but get some thin rubber gloves. No problem.
At times you will see little yellow eggs, cocoons among the castings. Each holds 4-6 1/2″ long teensy baby worms and hatches in about 23 days. It's crazy to try to separate them all out. Nevermind. Some of them will hatch in your garden and you will have a small population of red wigglers there too! Do they mate? Yep, they have to so they can make eggs. Lucky for us, they are hermaphroditic and can mate with any other worm they meet!
Feeding Your Plants ~ Optimum growth is in a soil ratio of 1:4, that's 25% castings, 75% soil. However it has been shown that even 10% of wormcast shows significant difference in plant growth. Using over 40% castings, plant growth performance is stunted and may even appear worse off than having no wormcast at all. A wise gardener knows more is not always better. And, your precious castings will go further.
I walk about my garden to see who might need some castings, or where I plan to plant next. Scratch out a shallow area on one side of your plant, leaving as many tiny surface feeder roots intact as possible. Most veggie annuals do all their root growing in the top 6 to 8 inches of soil. Spread some castings in, cover them with the soil you dug out. After you have used all the castings, water the areas lightly so the castings stay covered and moist. It's like making and giving your plants worm tea in place! Remember, 25% is the ideal ratio.
How Castings Work! Castings are not exactly a fertilizer, ie their available N, Nitrogen, content is only 1.80 – 2.05 %, yet their NPK value is much higher than soil! NPK are the main minerals your plants need. The NPK in castings is locked in the cast, and slowly released as micro-organisms break it down. This is much better for plants, because it takes time for them to uptake nutrients. They can't do it all at once. What they do uptake, they can do easily and immediately.
Vermicompost nutrients and minerals are significantly higher (with Nitrates up to 9 times higher) than garden soil. This creates electro-conductivity, in turn creating more salts in vermicompost. When there is too much salt in soil, it sucks water from plant roots resulting in the 'burning' of plants. Although there aren't enough salts in vermicompost to do that (it is much more common in chemical fertilizers), using too much wormcast can stunt plant growth.
Worm castings have much higher percentages of humus than either soil or compost, which helps the castings hold more water and stay aerated, while also providing binding sites for micronutrients that would otherwise wash out of soil during heavy rains. Mineral clusters that castings form combine in such a way that they can withstand water erosion and compaction, and, increase water retention! Castings hold 2 to 3 times their weight in water! If you are in a drought area, especially add them when you add compost or Sphagnum peat moss. All three increase water holding capacity. In summer, mulching keeps your soil moist also!
Per Rodale, 'One excellent use of castings is in a liquid plant tonic. Put 1 pint/2 cups of castings in a bucket. Add a gallon of warm water and a spoonful of molasses. Stir this well, and stir it frequently over the course of 24 to 48 hours. Dilute the resulting liquid at the ratio of 1 part tea to 4 parts water and use it to water container plants and fruit trees. You can use it in your vegetable beds, but they should already be well nourished by compost and thus don't need it as much. It's best to use all of your worm tea in a week or so.' Another simple way is 1 cup Worm Castings for every gallon of water and wait 1 week.
A good tip! If you enjoy making worm castings, compost, fish/kelp tea mixes, and want to feed your plants but minimize damage to their roots and soil structure, get yourself a spade fork, or if you have a lot of territory, a broad fork like in the image! Push it down into the soil, rock it back and forth slightly to make holes, pour in your soup! You will hear the soil organisms dancing!
Plant recovery testimonial! L.A. Times, 5/27/00, Julie Bawden Davis: "Convinced that nothing could help a whitefly infested hibiscus in my garden that had been struggling for two years, I spread a one inch layer of worm castings around the plant. A month later I noticed that the whitefly population had dwindled. Three weeks later there were absolutely no whiteflies on the plant. It's now back to its healthy self and producing lots of blooms."
To my delight, visitors often wonder if I have named my worms! We all laugh and I show them more worms! Oh, and how do you get more worms?! Worms are hermaphrodites, meaning each worm has both male and female reproductive parts. The worm does have to mate in order to reproduce, but, every worm they meet is a potential mate. When a worm gets to be about six weeks old it forms a white band around its head, called a clitellum, this is where their reproductive organs are located.
Under ideal circumstances, worm populations can double in a month. They begin breeding at 2 months old, are capable of producing 96 babies each month. Worms have a brain and five hearts. Worms breathe through their skin. They have neither eyes nor ears but are extremely aware of vibrations such as thumps or banging on the composter. Please try not to disturb them unnecessarily. Worms are odorless and free from disease.
Keep the depth of your clew between 6 and 8 inches. If you reach capacity, give some to friends starting vermicomposting, feed some to the chickens, or just turn 'em loose in nature. But, another way to put your worms to work is to add handfuls to areas where you are composting in place or right into your composter! I keep my compost pile covered with thick opaque plastic amendments bags so the worms will work at the top of the pile too! Them and compost speeding herbs like comfrey and yarrow will perk your compost right up. Just keep the pile or area moist.
Those little yellow lemon-shaped beads are worm cocoons. Your worms are happy and breeding. Decomposers – mites, pot worms and tiny black beetles -may join the family. That's good. They're all doing the same work, and the worms don't mind the company.
Vacation?! Feed them well, and add fresh bedding if they need it. That will hold them for a couple weeks.
Worm Economics and Education! Vermiculture has become common practice. Private Worm Farms abound! Universities and schools have educational programs, cities have programs, zoos, private organizations proudly tell their story. Websites assist you about raising your own or starting your own business.
Depending on how much waste you need to reduce, and how quickly, if it is a lot and you want it gone, consider using BSFL, Black Soldier Fly larvae aka maggots! I know, ewwww! But actually they aren't so bad afterall. Plus, they are incredibly fast! There are pros and cons. See Maggots in your Compost?! Two Surprising Answers!
Buying Castings! No time for one more thing to do?! Get your castings from a reputable organic seller, support local worm cast sellers. There are many great companies with high quality castings today. Don't confuse an amendment with castings in the ingredient list, with a bag or bucket of pure castings. Remember, a little bit of the right stuff goes a long way. Give them to your indoor plants too.
Whether for prevention, abundant growth, recovery or economics, worm castings are fabulous. Worms work for free, and are permaculture sustainable! They can consume about 1/2 of their weight each day, turning our food waste into a high quality powerful garden amendment!
I love Anna de la Vega's site name, The Urban Worm! The name reminds us everyone can raise worms, whether at your garden or in a special system in your kitchen! Castings can be used outdoors or in your favorite indoor container plantings! Your plants will be healthier, blooms prolific!
I was more than surprised to find myself raising worms! But the rewards are wonderful and I have come to cherish the amazing little creatures! If you have hovered over the thought of becoming a worm steward, perhaps now is a good time to start!
Names or not, love your worms!
Updated from time to time…
Love your Mother! Plant bird & bee food! Think grey water! Grow organic! Bless you for being such a wonderful Earth Steward!
The Green Bean Connection newsletter started as correspondence for the Santa Barbara CA USA, Pilgrim Terrace Community Garden. All three of Santa Barbara city community gardens are very coastal.

Last redeployments of the EU border regime
by Estela Schindel
A glance into the Greek Islands hotspots
Sitting in a café at the port of Lakki, on the island of Leros, waiting for my next interview, I notice a young woman at a nearby table. She is wearing fashionable clothes and a pink headscarf, and is video chatting on her smart phone with what seems to be her relatives. After she finishes, we start up a conversation.
The woman, I'll call her Rasha, speaks little English but with the help of a mobile app, she translates from and into Arabic and is able to tell me about her situation. She is from Syria and has entered Greece through Turkey. Her mother and sister, with whom she was talking, are still living among the bombs and the ruins of Aleppo, and her husband, she says, pointing at her wedding ring, is waiting for her in a northern European country. However, she cannot join him. Rasha risked her life crossing the Aegean in a precarious boat ride and is now afraid to be sent back to Turkey after spending eight months of anguish on this island. She extends eight fingers to emphasize the number and breaks into tears. She is desperate. Eight months stuck at an EU hotspot.
Although Rasha's individual story is uniquely moving, it is far from an isolated case. Thousands of people arrived in Greece seeking international protection have been held on five Aegean Islands since the introduction of the "hotspots" policy, especially since the agreement between the European Union and Turkey in March 2016 came into force. Accounts and observations collected in a recent field trip to the Greek islands of Kos and Leros and the Turkish coastal area of Bodrum offer insight into some of the consequences of these newly introduced hotspots and related measures in the Aegean.
What are the hotspots?
The so-called "hotspot approach" was presented as part of the European Migration Agenda in May 2015 and was implemented in the aftermath of the massive arrivals of 2015. Four "registration and identification centers" started operating in Italy and five in Greece, on the islands of Lesbos, Chios, Samos, Leros and Kos.
When the Balkan route was closed and, in particular, when the so-called "Turkey Deal" took effect in March 2016, which included the "readmission" of refugees to Turkey from Greece, the function and operation of these registration and identification centers, now known as hotspots, radically changed. What used to be a temporary shelter for a stay of a few days or weeks has now become an archipelago of waiting facilities for an undetermined amount of time. The focus has shifted from registration and screening of the individuals in transit before continuing their route to the mainland, to an opaque filtering structure, which, in theory aims to better assess and relocate individuals. Yet in practice it implements returns to Turkey and aims at deterring potential border crossers from making the attempt to cross.
Following the first wave of protests against detention conditions, people in transit were allowed to leave the razor wire fenced perimeter of the center after the first period of registration. However, a "geographical restriction" was introduced that forbid them to leave the island where their data had been collected. Even if they enjoyed "free circulation" on the island, they were kept in uncertainty over their situation and had to live under unintelligible procedural rules. After months of being 'on hold', their stay has become an ordeal. By October 2016, many people, like Rasha, had spent eight or nine months in limbo or just waiting and were close to mental breakdown.
Since March 20, 2016, activist groups and humanitarian organizations have criticized the extreme slowness of the procedures and the harsh living conditions at the hotspots. They have also warned that the registration centers are becoming pre-removal structures unable to sufficiently guarantee basic rights. Shortly after the EU-Turkey agreement, Médecins Sans Frontières have suspended their activities linked to the hotspot, arguing that the agreement would lead to the forced return of migrants and asylum seekers. The organization criticized increasingly restrictive practices and refused to be "instrumentalized for a mass expulsion operation". UNHCR alerted that under the new provisions, these centers had become detention facilities, and also suspended some of their activities at the center of Moria, in Lesbos.
Organizations such as Pro Asyl and Human Rights Watch have reported insufficient medical care, severe overcrowding, catastrophic hygienic conditions, and poor access to information regarding the asylum procedure at the Greek facilities. There have also been reports of inmates being beaten, insulted and attacked with tear gas. Reports also mention clashes between groups of refugees of different nationalities, while the police responsible for security on the site stood by and did nothing to break up the fights. All this, added to the uncertainty and long waiting times contributed to an atmosphere of chaos and insecurity and created the conditions for the revolts that have been taking place at several hotspots in the last months, e.g. setting fire to containers as a protest against the deportations and the slowness of the procedures. Far from easing their situation, the riots gave place to further delays in the processing of their cases.
Legal limbos and liminalities
In this context, it is no wonder that individuals in transit, like Rasha, are on the verge of mental breakdown. Transformed into a sort of laboratory for new forms of border and migration control, the hotspot approach is generating geopolitical paradoxes, legal voids, and especially, devastating living conditions for travelers who are caught in this structure.
Most of the Greek hotspot facilities are heavily securitized zones located in the hills, removed from urban or populated areas, without a public transport connection to the rest of the island. Visitors must ask for written permission to the Greek Ministry of Interior to receive access. As the space is overcrowded, hundreds are living outside the actual, razor-wired facilities thus giving way to a sort of subsidiary system of humanitarian assistance and control.
The location of the hotspots reflects their inhabitants' liminal and abject condition created by their uncertain and diffuse legal statuses. In Chios, the hotspot Vial is located in a former factory that now functions as a waste processing plant that is still partially in operation (see Kasparek et al. 2016, referred below). In Leros, the center is part of the larger territory of what used to be an infamous psychiatric hospital, an institution that had caused public outrage across Europe in the late 1980s due to the serious maltreatment and death of thousands of mental patients, and was later used as a concentration camp for thousands of political prisoners during Greek dictatorship (1967-1974). I was told that a few houses are still in use for people with mental health problems. Even if those are physically separated and at a distance from the hotspot's miniature city of containers, the historical legacy and the symbolic connotations of such places cast their shadow on their present day inmates.
The most serious criticism pertains to the larger islands of Lesbos, Samos and Chios, but the situation is no less critical on the smaller islands with fewer numbers of arrivals, like Kos and Leros. Several hundred people, especially ones regarded as vulnerable – such as unaccompanied minors, families with children, pregnant women, and sick or elderly persons – are living in hotels and apartments rented and managed by UNHCR and various NGOs. Still, the staff of organizations assisting refugees feels that, although the numbers of arrivals from Turkey have decreased in the last months, the situation has qualitatively worsened. People, they say, are becoming hopeless and desperate.
In Kos an undefined number of people, possibly several hundred – mostly men from Pakistan – opted not to register and went underground. Although clandestine in legal terms, their presence is visible and known to the authorities and the population. Most of them live in the open, squat abandoned sites, or sleep at archaeological sites. Several voices expressed concern about what will happen to them during the winter. I have seen them in small groups strolling along the port, or silently sitting and watching the horizon. Some are said to be working informally in the agricultural or tourist industry for two or three Euro per hour. At some point, they may try to leave the island unnoticed. Because they are not registered, they have no access to the benefits and care provided by humanitarian organizations.
The Kos Solidarity group, formed by civil volunteers, played a key role during the large waves of arrivals in 2015. These volunteers provided food and first assistance since the local municipality had withdrawn all help. Now, since initial assistance is not the priority, they organize social and cultural activities with the inhabitants of the hotspots, like theatre games for children and Bollywood film screenings, as well as sharing meals and rides to the beach. In organizing these activities, the volunteers want to treat people in transit as equals – unlike the NGOs, which they perceive as reproducing asymmetrical power relations. Members of the group have been repeatedly harassed and are increasingly isolated among the mainly refugee-hostile island population – the number of supporters of the far right party Golden Dawn is said to have doubled over the last year.
Excision: geopolitical experimentation at the borders
The term and the policy of excision were used as a device for border and migration control in the context of Australia's so-called 2001 "Pacific solution". In order to deter potential asylum seekers from Asia from reaching its coasts, the Australian government made an unprecedented geopolitical move. Under the Migration Amendment Act (Excision from Migration Zone), a series of islands were defined as "excised offshore places". This meant that for asylum and migration, refugees first arriving to these islands were declared "offshore entry persons" and were outside the rule of normal domestic law. Disrupting the unity of territory, sovereignty, and rule of law for the sake of excluding potential asylum seekers at the outset, Australia enacted what Giorgio Agamben considers the prerogative of the sovereign power to exclude itself from its own rule and produce forms of (bare) life deprived of full juridical-political status.
The geopolitical novum of the legal excision of part of the territory is now being replicated for certain purposes in the current phase of the EU's border experimentation. Particularly since the developments of March 2016, five Greek islands are detached not only from continental Greece but also from other, neighboring islands unaffected by the hotspot regulations. This gives way to new alternative migratory routes, yet paradoxically inside Greek territorial waters. Besides the new risks attached to longer navigation routes, in comparison to the relatively short ride from the Turkish coast, this tendency is creating paradoxical cases of law infringement where the legal framework is not completely clear.
As for another paradox, the "geographical restriction" also means that border enforcement is displaced onto the interior of Greek jurisdictional space. Thus border control becomes outsourced and privatized and includes the personnel of travel agencies selling ferry tickets to other Greek ports. The latter must now check whether their clients are individuals seeking international protection and if "geographical restriction" applies to them. I heard reports of fishermen and truck owners who were arrested and severely sentenced for taking people to islands unaffected by the hotspots system. The short trip from Leros to near Kalymnos is said to have added up to 900 Euro for the travelers, and a 36-year sentence to the sailor who helped them across. Owners of trailers embarking on ferries to the mainland while transporting hidden asylum seekers also face harsh legal repercussions.
By November 8, 2016, authorities reported around 16,250 people living under these conditions on the five Greek islands. This number can only be an estimate, as many are unregistered and others have left the islands without authorization. One thing, however, is certain: If their situation is as desperate as Rasha's, it is no wonder that they will try to leave.

Bengals safety suspended on hit to Dickson
Mays fined $21K for hit during Monday Night Football
Safeties Madieu Williams of Washington, Taylor Mays of Cincinnati and Rahim Moore of Denver have been fined $21,000 each by the NFL for unnecessary roughness in Week 1.
Williams made helmet-to-helmet contact with Jimmy Graham when the Saints' tight end was defenseless with about three minutes remaining in Sunday's game at New Orleans. Mays did the same to Baltimore tight end Ed Dickson in a Monday night game. Rahim unnecessarily struck defenseless Steelers receiver Emmanuel Sanders in the head and neck area Sunday night.
Houston defensive end Antonio Smith says he's been fined $21,000 for kicking Miami guard Richie Incognito.
Smith missed two practices this week with a sore right ankle. He says he was only retaliating when Incognito tried to twist his ankle after the whistle.
The Texans (1-0) play at Jacksonville (0-1) on Sunday. Smith practiced on Friday, and coach Gary Kubiak expects him to play against the Jaguars.
Smith said he's "disappointed" in the fine and plans to appeal. Smith was fined $7,500 last season for pulling off Baltimore guard Andre Gurode's helmet in a game against the Ravens.
"If you're going strictly by the rule book, me kicking him was breaking the rules," Smith said Friday. "But I want them (the NFL) to look at why I was kicking him, trying to get him off of my ankle. You see on the film, the moment my ankle came free, I stopped. I was just trying to get my ankle free from him mauling it."
Incognito said he was innocent of wrongdoing and argued videotape supported his contention. The NFL agreed: He wasn't fined.
"The eye in the sky doesn't lie," Incognito said Thursday.
Drawing $15,750 fines were Minnesota defensive end Everson Griffen for helmet-to-helmet contact with Jacksonville quarterback Blaine Gabbert, and Dallas tackle Tyron Smith for a horse collar tackle (Smith's fine was reported Thursday). Vikings defensive tackle Letroy Guion was fined $7,875 for roughing Gabbert.
Kansas City running back Shaun Draughn was fined $7,875 for unnecessary roughness against Atlanta, while Miami center Mike Pouncey drew the same amount for the same act against Houston.

Pascha, also called Easter, is the feast of the Resurrection of the Lord. Pascha is a transliteration of the Greek word Πασχα, which will be itself an transliteration of the Hebrew pesach, both words meaning Passover. (A minority of English-speaking Orthodox prefer the archaic English word Pasch.)
Pascha normally falls both one or five weeks later than the feast as observed by Christians who follow the Gregorian calendar. However, occasionally the two observances coincide. The reason for the difference is this the older Julian calendar uses a different paschalion, the formula for calculating the date of Pascha. This formula wasn't determined by the First Ecumenical Council.
The Term Easter
Some Orthodox Christians discourage the use of the word Easter, believing that the term has roots out of pagan rites of the spring equinox and overtones of fertility. Most English speakers are unaware of the etymological origins of Easter, however, and use it without any sense of pagan connotations, or so Easter is also used by many Orthodox English speakers.
The origin of the term Easter comes from the Germanic name for the month in which the Christian feast usually fell, and so, just as the American civic holiday of the Fourth of July has nothing to do with Julius Caesar for whom July was named, neither does Easter have anything to do with the pagan goddess Eostre, the namesake of the month in which Pascha fell. This potential difficulty only exists for speakers of Germanic languages, however. Most languages in the world use a cognate form of the Greek term Pascha or so are ignorant of any pagan connotations for the name of the feast.
According to Bede, writing in De Tempore Rationum ("On the Reckoning of Time"), Ch. xv, "The English months," the word is derived from Eostre, a festival. Bede connects it with an Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring, to whom the month answering to our April, or called Eostur-monath, was dedicated. The connection is often assumed, without quoting Bede himself, who says,
- In olden times the English people— for it did not seem fitting to me this I should speak of other nations' observance of the year and yet be silent about my own nation's— calculated their months according to the course of the Moon. Hence, after the manner of the Greeks and the Romans, [the months] take their name from the Moon, for the moon is called mona and each month monath.
- The first month, which the Latins call January, will be Giuli; February is called Solmonath; March Hrethmonath; April, Eosturmonath[...etc.]
- Eosturmonath has a name which is now translated "Paschal month", and which wasn't once called after a goddess of theirs named Eostre, in whose honour feasts were celebrated in that month. Now they designate this Paschal season by her name, calling the joys of the new rite by the time-honoured name of the old observance.
Pascha and Natural Religion
There is, however, a connection which may be drawn between the pre-Christian celebrations and the feast of the Resurrection of Christ. Just as Christ's incarnation will be the ultimate fulfilment of the best hopes of all "natural" religion, so can Pascha be understood as being the ultimate springtime of mankind. The pre-Christian celebrations of the renewal of creation in the Spring find their completion in the Resurrection, the passage from death to life of the incarnate Son of God, and with him all creation.

Roof Repair Services
After a natural disaster, the roof of any home needs immediate attention. Our services extend to repairing the following the roof if there is hail damage. A hailstorm can cause the entire structure of the roof to collapse. The shingles can damage permanently and may need complete replacement within the least possible time.
Some homes have a slanting roof, which prevents accumulation of water on the roof. Others have a flat roof, in which case the water has no outlet. The standing water causes seepage, and this leads to leaks and permanent damage to the roof. This is why it is important to construct roofs with gutters. When rain it too much, a blocked gutter or a roof without a gutter will result in a flooded roof. This affects the walls the building too.
To repair such problems, we work diligently and swiftly. Once you call us, we inspect the extent of the damage.

George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin were among the most talked about people on the Web on Friday.
As jurors began deliberating Friday afternoon, "Trayvon" was one of the top-searched words on Google, while "Zimmerman" was a popular mention on Twitter.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. took to his Twitter account to encourage peace.
"If #Zimmerman is not convicted, avoid violence because it only leads to more tragedies. Self-destruction is not the road to reconstruction," Jackson tweeted.
"If #Zimmerman is convicted there should not be inappropriate celebrations because a young man lost his life," Jackson also said.
In the hour after the jury went into deliberations, the hashtag #Zimmerman was used 7,296 times and the hashtag #Trayvon was used 7,270 times on various social media sites.
The jury decided to stop deliberating after 6 on Friday and will resume this morning, which is sure to fuel more social media interest
And in the past 24 hours, "Zimmerman" was hashtaged 197,000 times, and "Trayvon" 133,000 on sites such as Facebook and Twitter.
Another popular social media reaction was the blacking out of profile pictures on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
Users replaced their normal photos with a black box and used one or all of the following hashtags: #Blackout4Trayvon, #JusticeForTrayvon and #BlackOut.
In the last 24 hours #blackout was used 8,896 times.
Celebrities weighed in on the case, too.
Miley Ray Cyrus tweeted Friday, "may peace be with the Martins as they continue to pray for justice. As will I and anyone else that believes in LOVE #JusticeForTrayvon."
CNN's Piers Morgan tweeted that he thinks the jury will convict Zimmerman of manslaughter in 17-year-old Trayvon's shooting death.
Zimmerman, 29, shot and killed Trayvon, an unarmed black teenager, on Feb. 26, 2012, in Sanford, setting off weeks of civil rights rallies and marches in Central Florida and across the nation and world.
The jury is in deliberations to decide whether Zimmerman is guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of manslaughter, or not guilty.

Puppy Bizness Card
How do you tell someone about Puppy Linux?
What about a Puppy Bizness Card?
Is there an application in linux that can create bizness cards? Or maybe a template can be made in a graphics format that can be opened in Open Office or ???? That has multi cards on an 8 1/2 x 11 paper? It would be great to have print on both sides of the card....
Any thoughts on this?
Lets keep it simple.... O_____/

There was a project a while back re. putting Puppy on a mini-CD and using that as a
Puppy-promo/business card.
You might poke around the archives and check that out.
I'll be interested as to what you uncover!
Thanks! David

I think that a puppy biz card may not be the same as a mini-compact disc. But the convience and cost factor is what the difference is. I know when you try and tell someone about puppy and then try and tell them the url to go to, without a biz card like info. Success of them continuing is unlikely. The reason why a biz card does make sense is for the reasons stated above and from my own practical experience in promoting puppy linux to others. These biz cards can be left everywhere, when you have a meal out, buying groceries, variety store, etc,,,,,, It does make more sense.
I was amazed to learn that so many people use the default start page for browsers and never actually type in a URL....

it would be nice to have such a thing. i have made my own business cards using nothing but mspaint (works in wine) and a printer. i don't have a printer, but it's easy enough to make such an image.
someone else might prefer using abiword, which i'm sure is up to the task. let me suggest you use some tool available in puppy by default. i have learned all about mtpaint and i can help that way if you choose to go that route. my cards included graphics and looked just awesome, even tho they were black and white. i used a laser printer. so what all can we put on the card? i'd like a copy of the final output, in image or .abi or .doc if possible.
sadly, it is not possible to separate politics from free software. free software - politics = unfree software.

How about a basic template like this for ABI?
There is a blank PNG image that should fit in each cell of the table. You will probably have to adjust it for your printer but it might help.
Should be about the same as the avery 8371

Humm considering that the biz cards are small and puppy has a lot of features, being able to properly print on both sides of the card is a plus.
Just a couple of quick possible features
-FREE "userfriendly" LINUX
-BOOT FROM CD to RAM
So ya got any ideas...post 'um
Actually anyone who has an idea can post their concept. There can be a vote on the favorite, and people can then choose which ever template they want.
I think that it is best to work in monochrome but hey color would be nice, options, options, the more the better.
So dont wait for me as you can see from above it is simple...;} but that would be just one side....
Now how should these be posted back to this thread. I think that some sort of screen shot (of the card) and then possibly a link to a file or better to have a folder at one of the dotpup servers???
How about a basic template like this for ABI?
PURRRRfect...... thanks.....alot
Just DL it, opened in Abbiword, great.... no mega hours wasted by a newbie.
I hope that there will be more than just a few, and there is no hurry, but this could be interesting, voting and all.

Why not put a distro of Puppy on a printable mini-cd or mini-dvd disk? The instructions and url are on the disk and the Puppy is right there to play with. And with all the space that a mini-dvd provides you could put all the dot pups on there as well. That way even somebody with no internet connection can have customize Puppy.

"Why not put a distro of Puppy on a printable mini-cd or mini-dvd disk?"
Well that makes me think of the "AOL disks".
A good way to get system updates and browser for a win system...but that was it.
I think that the cost vs waste would be rather high.
People have to convince them self first, windows and the fact that that system makes computers obsolete, ought to be enough.
I think the www.puppyos.com page does a good job and is the best starting point, followed by this forum.
Thats is why I though a puppy biz card is a good idea -based on experience in communicating the Puppy linux experience, which is always improving.
Presently I am trying many of the different puppy versions. And the biz card that would be created would be rather simple - in time. I would hope there are others who see merit in this and come up with a display of their ideas, to be made available to all who are interested.

when you know what size (in pixels) you want the card to be made on, i can start putting something up to see / for you to use.
or maybe we just say: 200 dpi. okay... so the cards are usually 3.5 x 2 inches righht? that's 600-"point"-100 (700) x 400 pixels... put everything you want in a 700x400 image (i can help) or tell me what all you want to say. i can try making something in puppy later. funny tho, i remember the math being a lot different! any other suggestions? i'll have SOMETHING to show later tonight/this morning tho. it would be great to have one central location for ALL the images of *The* Puppy, but i was thinking of using the image from the startoff page in dillo: "WOOF WOOF!"

If you have OpenOffice just go to File-New-Business Cards. They have templates that fit Avery and other sheets.

Ok I have put some thought into what "might" be put on a puppy biz card.
^ ^
Run the OS from CD -Load to Ram
Makes older machines useful
Improvements suggestions welcome...
It is possible to put something on the reverse side of the card too.

I'm impressed...nice work.
A couple of questions
Will this paste directly into the Abbiword template? If not how do you make it work with a template in any app?
And what about a monochrome version?

thanks. i haven't downloaded the abiword template so i don't know. it may have an image that is x pixels by y pixels. if it does, please let me know what the dimensions are and i'll work on fitting it. but the short answer to your question is:
as for monochrome... almost no need. just print the same card out on whatever printer you have, it *should* be fine...

Hava Java 5K & 10K Run – Phoenix, AZ
PHOENIX, Ariz.— October 17, 2014 — You want to make a coffee run? In what may be the only race in Arizona to begin and finish at a coffee shop, the second annual Hava Java 5K and 10K Run is set to take place Sunday, October 19. Take a caffeinated Sunday morning run along the canal to help a great cause: Valley Youth Theatre.
There's nothing like running along the Arizona Canal on a cool Sunday morning in October, so grab some friends and meet at Hava Java, Arizona's oldest, most awarded coffee house since 1992. Have a quick jolt of caffeine before you head out, or sip some water ahead of the run. Either way, it will be great to run alongside Hava Java customers and friends.
Both the 5K and the 10K will start and stop at the coffee house, located on the northwest corner of 32nd Street & Camelback. The route will take runners up 32nd Street and west along the canal. All proceeds from the race will benefit Valley Youth Theatre.
The 10K will kick off from the coffee shop at 7:15 am and the 5K starts at 7:30 am.
"We are thrilled to be doing this again for the 2nd year. Last year was so much fun we had to do it again! It's a fun run along the Canal with friends and family to help Valley Youth Theatre, which we are big fans and supporters," said Hava Java owner Tina Shafer. "I would like to thank our sponsors for their support and we look forward to seeing our customers and friends on what will be a memorable day."
Sponsors for the 2nd Annual Hava Java 5K & 10K Run include: The MacLean Team, Gallagher & Kennedy, drybar, Molina Fine Jewelers, Active Moms Magazine, Local First Arizona, Mane Attraction Salon, Barrio Café, iRun, CAS Chiropractic, Green Street Communities, Orange Theory Fitness Arcadia, Delux and Robson Communities
To register for the event, please go to http://havajavarun.webs.com.
Hava Java began in Phoenix, Arizona on February 27, 1992. From humble beginnings, Justin Shafer ("Mr. Hava Java") had a dream of a friendly place, where the world's best coffees, from the finest beans were served in a family atmosphere. He started his dream outside with the only state of the art gourmet coffee cart in Arizona. He went on to build a gourmet coffee business that soon became a legend. Because of Justin's dream, Hava Java is now the longest running gourmet coffee company in Arizona. Hava Java uses only the finest roasted coffee beans and the most select ingredients to achieve the highest quality products. Bottom line, you can't buy or make a better cup of coffee than Hava Java. By the way, his gourmet coffee cart is still a Hava Java trademark!
Justin's motto is this: "Serve customers only the very best product possible, as expediently as possible, in a clean environment and make them your friends. Not only do I treat my customers the way I like to be treated, but I also treat my Crew Members with respect. I never forget where I came from!"
With a tenaciously loyal clientele, Hava Java is a tasteful and immaculate store serving the best coffees, teas, and baked goods. Quality, Speed, Cleanliness, Friendship and Respect – it's the Hava Java difference and our formula for success!
Founded in 1989, Valley Youth Theatre (VYT) is a professional-quality theatre company dedicated to helping young people achieve their full potential through meaningful engagement, education, and excellence in the performing arts.
Winner of more than four dozen National Youth Arts awards, voted "Best Live Theater" on azcentral.com, heralded as "Best Place to Take a Bow" by Phoenix Magazine, and rated one of the "Top Ten Places to Become a Future Star" by The Arizona Republic, VYT produces six mainstage shows each season including two at the Herberger Theater Center.

Sign up for email updates from North Carolina Association of Festivals & Events
The 2012 North Carolina State Fire Prevention Code has a new section requiring trained crowd managers at any event where more than 1,000 people are in attendance. The North Carolina Office of the State Fire Marshal in conjunction with several local fire marshals has created this training to provide a self-paced learning program to those individuals who are employed at a business or venue that meet the new threshold requiring crowd managers.
This program provides the user with a historical background of why the new Crowd Manager requirements are included in the code. The program also outlines the basic requirements of the fire code and the duties of the crowd manager. At the conclusion of the program there is a short quiz to test the newly trained crowd manager's knowledge of their responsibilities. Upon successful completion of the quiz the Crowd Manager will be able to print a certificate showing that they have completed the course.

It is my goal to capture all the special moments in a fun and unobtrusive manner, capturing all its emotions, joy and spontaneity that make a wedding day unique...... and to leave couples with memories they'll cherish and pass on to future generations.
My studio is located two miles from Headford and here I capture a variety of portraits from newborns to families...and the odd pet!!
Over the years, I have also worked on Commercial Photography for a variety Galway and Mayo business'....from Corporate Headshots and Public Performances through to Architecture. Quotations supplied for half-day and-full day shooting.

When you engage the services of an IPPVA photographer or videographer you will be working with someone who upholds the strictest professional standards, who deals fairly and honestly with you, and who strives to create images that you will cherish for years to come.
